2nd Annual Authors Fair at Gail Borden

 On this,  the one-year anniversary of my book being published, Portland and I spent a few hours hanging out with fellow author Wayne Turmel and 39 others at Gail Borden library’s second annual authors fair. It was fun and as always, I learned a lot. I am learning that marketing a book is even harder than writing one. I really feel that for now writing and sharing my story is what God wants me to do, but in order for me to do it well, I need to have “groupies!” In order for me to have a decent following, I need help getting my name out there.  If you read my book, you can help:

• Please review it, and share it on Facebook, twitter and other social media outlets that you may use.
• If you haven't read my book yet, better late than never. It is available on Amazon (in both paperback and Kindle), Barnes & Noble online and signed copies are always available through the shop on my website. It is also available in some libraries.
• Finally, you may or may not know that I am also a motivational speaker. I can speak to the topics disability awareness (i.e. the importance of using person-first language), diversity, acceptance, and bullying. If you have heard me speak and you know of schools, community organizations, or service organizations (i.e. scouts) that could benefit from my message, please share my name and my contact information. I am always open to and looking for new places where I can share my message. For now, I need to stay within the western suburbs of Chicago or the city itself. For more information, click here.
